Your last chance to see stressed and captive killer whales*, in tiny pools with limp dorsal fins performing tricks for the paying public. At least until all the remaining ones die off. :neutral_face:

*Now SeaWorld have finally bowed to public pressure and stopped their breeding programme.

and thats busch gardens fault. to be fair they should make sure all bees are kept in their cages. how didnt this make the news?

Sea world is dying last 2 times i have gone down idrive the car park is empty . Just shows people do not want to go any more as people are getting more educated about this cruel establishment .

That's a great direct price then. I thought we'd booked ours for next Easter, but turns out we haven't - got it on the list for tonight's nightshift - toss up between £450 for London or £300 from Dusseldorf, and whether to play by the rules or stick 2 fingers up to it. Think we'll probably take 2 days off before and get a full fortnight away with a couple of days to sleep it off when we get back. Have fun!!

BA had already taken APD off for the 12-16yo's
Wife's not a good flyer so direct is the only option for us

We're 1st till 22nd April (miss a week of school, we did the 2 weeks at Easter this year and had a (much) cheaper option if we'd have had the 3 weeks but didn't want to "break the rules", because of that I was watching keenly on what they did that week - pretty much nothing, DVD and non school uniform games day etc.. So gave up caring for next year, I wouldn't do this if they were GCSE years etc...)

Ha! That's not bad, what dates have you got there? We've been looking at the Virgin flights for £400-450ish depending on the dates via ATL or DTW, but that's on school hol dates for us (8-21st Apr), or considering taking the kids out a day early and bagging the £312 flights from Dusseldorf-Miami. We're doing the Miami drive in July - managed to get the flights with BA for £350 this summer with a bit of faffing around with the departure airports.

I'm struggling a bit with our 12yo on a lot of flight sites - they all seem to be charging the adult price for him, even though APD is no longer applicable. I rung traveltrolley and flysharp to ask them about it and they didn't have a clue what I was talking about, did you have to pay it for your two?

Randomly we're actually going out next Easter for mine and my Wife's 40th (hers whilst we're there)

Yeah, got flights direct into Miami with BA from Heathrow £450pp plus an SUV for £500 (2+ 14yo & 12yo £2222 total) for 3 weeks - was fantastically happy with this.
It's only a 3.5 hour drive upto Orlando, we've done it before, it's pretty easy
Booked a Villa separately and Disney 3 week ticket from orlandoattractiontickets

Cheers! It was a spur of the moment decision to go for these because they were so cheap - we've got the flights booked for next easter but not the accommodation yet, and not yet decided what to do park-wise! Definitely not Disney next time - did 3 weeks at Disney last year, plus going for a fortnight this July, but since they're not doing dining plan next easter we'll skip it.
Long story over the cancellation, but basically the minor airline we had a connecting flight with have just pulled out of the airport we were flying from. I only know this because I work there - nothing official announced yet, but thankfully we hadn't booked accommodation for that one either, only the flights and a single airport hotel night. That was Orlando without kids for my 40th, so we'll find something else cheap and easy as it's off-peak time.
Have you already booked your easter flights? There are some absolute bargains around at the moment!

Oh no, how come the flights are cancelled? (I have no idea what I'd do if ours were, replacing Easter flights would cost us 000's)

If it's any help you can get a 3 park Seaworld/Aq/Busch 3 day ticket for $109 (~£74ea) or unlimited with parking for $139

(we're there for 3 weeks and mostly goto Disney, we were only getting these to visit each a couple of times)

Got in this morning, offer has been running since 23rd (was raised on another site DIBB) must have taken off for sales today and they've panicked and pulled the plug.
Will wait and see if they cancel my tickets but have paid £635 for Dicovery Cove Ultimate Swim in August so I hope not.

Bah! Gutted! Thanks for trying hawk299. Wish I hadn't been on nights last night - I was straight onto this the second I woke up and saw it on whatsapp, but obvoiusly not straight-enough onto it!
Also just found out this morning that flights we have booked for another trip to Orlando in December have been cancelled (wasn't wanting the theme park tickets until going with the kids in April) so I'm not having a very good Floridian morning.

Thanks op, we managed to get Discovery Cove tickets before it stopped working!

yeah, it's deffo only for new bookings with flight and hotel included
She wouldn't budge, well done anyone who got this

It was working until about an hour ago. I just booked two adult tickets for £120. Offer seems to have expired

This isn't available, anyone who managed to get it was V.Lucky before they fixed it
I'm trying to blag it now but she can't even get it to work even though I have a package with them

Seems this needs to be expired

Was just about to buy these and the offer isn't showing now. We're flying with Virgin next week. Let me know how you get on please hawk299.

still on hold
Looks like it was a mistake - I'm guessing it worked for a couple of people yesterday but they've fixed it now
I'm actually flying with them (though booked a villa separately) so might try blagging it

Did you manage to get it to take the 30% off with any dates at all?
It looks like the main advert on the front page has changed now, so that it says 'when you book a flight and hotel package with BA' - I'm pretty sure it didn't say that earlier?!

I just did the same thing, couple of pounds more as we're going early 2017
It doesn't appear to take off the 30% that way

I'll call them

Seaworld?! I do not want to endorse that disgusting place in any way - voted cold.

How did you actually buy them? I can't find an option to purchase at the £67 price?

Where are you finding the info? The only T&C I can find seems to give info about buses?!





I don't think it is - the kids prices are only a few quid cheaper than the adults, so it's probably £65 or something like that. However I can't find how you buy it at the 30% off price either, when I search in experiences for Tampa and get the 3 park pass, I get these prices: Your options
Experience prices

Adult : £87.25 Child (3-9 yrs) : £83.86 Child (2-2 yrs) : £0.00 Infant : £0.00

It also says "From" £62 pp
that's probably the kids price

This isn't a deal at all - just one big tease

I can't actually work out how to buy this either?! Or where the T&Cs are about dates. I'd have bought for next April if it was valid.

where are you seeing that?

Darn...only up to may 2017 as far as i can see. We don't go until Aug 17.

Thank you for this. Since getting back from seeing them last year I've thought the same but everyone else on the trip thought they were great

I thought it was fine...but then i did have express pass....wouldn't have wanted to queue to long for it.

One bit of advice though...do check out the Pets Ahoy show at Seaworld...it's better than the water shows! Kids loved it.

Am I doing something wrong?
how do I buy them?

I can't see a buy it button

Is there anything that suggests dates too?

Dont forget Mako is out this summer at seaworld :-)

​why not? the ride was a bit poor but our 5 year old loved watching the Penguins swimming around

Interesting, as I love Busch Gardens, so much to do and out of the way from the very commercial Orlando parks.

Seems like a good deal. Beats the prices that attraction tickets direct offer.

Is there an expiry on the tickets?

It would be useful for some to have the country/city in the title and or description

and thats busch gardens fault. to be fair they should make sure all bees are kept in their cages. how didnt this make the news?

I can only find non-swim tickets at Discovery cove :disappointed:

Just come back falcons fury in bush gardens is a must.

Busch gardens is shocking (at least last time I went in 2014). I may be a bit biased mind as I was stung in the armpit by a bee on a roller coaster that flew up my shirt whilst assending at the start.

People still go to sea world

thanks booked my tickets for the summer.

Has anyone tried asking other companies to price match? Just wondering as I'm looking to book this but for next year - although tickets aren't there on the BA site.

Too many annoying 10 year adults in America.
And a £2 difference from 3 year old to adult is a bit of a liberty too. Why not charge £57 for 0 to 3 year olds too. They will get pretty much the same out of it as a 3 year old.

I'm thinking to myself, of I wonder how far away I live from these theme parks, they sound interesting. oh....they're in America?! bummer.

How do you actually book the tickets? or do you need to book your holiday through BA also?

Thanks OP, just got some tickets for our trip next month :smile:

Absolutely totally agree about the waste of time 'ride' to see the penguins, totally not worth it even with no wait.

Great price, We paid more than this last year, Wasn't so keen on SeaWorld, but Busch Gardens and Aquatica were great. thou Busch gardens is a fair distance from the other two. Also discovery Cove is fantastic and worth a visit, thou in my view the extra to swim with Dolphins is not worth it unless your really really keen to do that, Too commercial a real production line going one group following another .

Where does it say about the free parking?? Thanks

Nearly paid 90 last night just for busch. Thank you

Great parks but be warned the water park had large (40 - 60 minutes!) queues for the slides. Shame Busch Gardens is also an hour and a bit drive away from the other two too.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT waste your time with the ride section of the penguin viewing at Seaworld!

good deal

Can't book this for dates next year unfortunately

Love all three of these parks and quite easily you could go to each twice as they are so much fun and entertainment . that would equate to a little over a £10 per visit which is phenomenal value for world class parks

Great find! If I hadn't already booked up, I would have been right on it
